What to do with leftover cheese from Christmas?!

Using Christmas leftover cheese to make great canapes
So Christmas is finally over and we start the New Year however the fridge is still full of all that left over Cheese.  Don’t despair not only can cheese be chopped up and frozen for use in soups and sauces at a later date it can also make great Canapes.
I like to use my leftover stilton and create a stilton pate:
​

• Break the stilton into small pieces
• Add some crushed walnuts and some grated apple including the juice
• Then add a spot of honey
• Mix all the ingredients together
• Taste to make sure you are happy with the consistency and strength of the cheese 
• If it is too sweet add a bit more stilton, if the stilton is too strong or a bit too lumpy you can also add a splash of cream

This pate is great on bruschetta or used to stuffed mushrooms, pepper or butternut Squash. Other ways to enjoy left over cheese such as grated/crumbled cheddaror goats cheese is on a bruschetta. Alternatively you can always have brie or camembert topped with some homemade cranberry sauce or some grapes for lunch! 

Made using cheese that has been frozen, please allow 24 hours to thoroughly defrost.
